Thanksgiving
Day in America is a time to offer thanks, of family gatherings and
holiday meals. A time of turkeys, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. A time
for Indian corn, holiday parades and giant balloons. We can always
find something to be thankful for, and there may be reasons why we
ought to be thankful but as we express our gratitude, we must never
forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to
live by them. The office of Student Leadership and Activities, and
the Division of Student Affairs would like to wish everyone a Happy
Thanksgiving.
